Well, I'm not remotely, uhm, from Botswana. I fold. Uncle. I abase myself. Enlighten me. :-) I do know that folks from Madagascar are "Malagasy". This is however ethnospecific (?word) knowledge. The sort of "privileged" information we ignorant ones cannot hope to win against. Botswanese? Botswaner? Botswanic? Botswanish? Botswaans? Re EDIT. Massachusetts remains a mystery, no? I think I can swallow "Wyomingite". Or "Wyominger". No, wait; that's a sentence.

Oh, my God, you poor thing! That Insults Only thread is like shape shifting! I lurk, but I can't quite find it it myself to post there--although I suspect that some of my posts on other threads might barely qualify. It's too much go for the throat. I prefer a stiletto, personally. Enough of the OT. It is Utahans. As for the other two--I ought<i/> to know what it is for people who live in Massachusetts, but I don't. I have no idea about residents of Wyoming. I even looked in a great site, if you haven't found it: askjeeves.com It's a metasearch engine. Not great if you want to browse through a thought but great for a quick and dirty. I found more than ever wanted to know about each state but not the info we seek. I have e-mailed a friend who loves things such as this. If I get a good response, I shall share it. Please note: am possibly the only person left in the United States who uses "shall" normally in a spoken sentence. The last of her kind, like the dinosaurs. (Anyone remember the reference?)
